Your loyalty program should be about more than offering discounts. Your loyalty and rewards program should be engaging and fun in order to keep your customers coming back for more. Here are some ways to enhance your loyalty program to create a culture of customer engagement that’s aimed at truly earning your customers’ loyalty.

Points catalog items that aren’t discounts

Let your customers show off their loyalty! A truly loyal customer will appreciate the opportunity to wear their status like a badge of honor. Consider adding some of these non-discount incentives to help increase customer engagement and brand affinity.

X points = VIP shopping experience for you and your friends

Non-purchase bonus points

Your loyalty program doesn’t need to simply reward customers for their purchases or their visits. Strengthen your brand community by rewarding customers for all their interactions with your brand. Make sure your customers know that you appreciate their support in all different forms, both online and offline!
